*Sigh*

E-Sigh....

Looks like this dino laptop is finally showing its true colors. I've covered in the past how slow this thing is (and lack of a larger resolution). Now after all the weeks of wonderful battery life i have been enjoying, the battery it seems, is finally flaking out on me. I can no longer charge it to 100% (instead it struggles to get to 70%) and the battery discharges while the power chord is hooked up. How fugged up is that?

Since a battery is somewhat a 'key' component of a laptop, it goes beyond my threshold on how much dough I would spend to get this running. I would just much rather get a newer machine and have a nice, fast, smooth, and larger resolution then spend some big change (that I still don't have hahaha, - Economy 1 - PsYkHoTiK 0).

Oh, did I mention that even with the chord attached and with 'full' charge, it randomly kills the laptop (aka turns it off suddenly like it ran out of power). It would defeat the purpose of having a laptop if I always had to have a cable hooked up to it... Oh good times.... :\

New laptop, I will be waiting for you, and with it, a boot (if not dual boot) of Ubuntu (preferably the x64 variant). *E-Sigh*
